Twin 44IDF on 1916...assistance please
Hi All,
just thought I'd put this out there to see what feedback is given and to confirm I seem to be on track...also understanding that a dyno is required for finer tuning... I installed brand new Empi HMPX 44's on Wednesday, after checking the jetting and floats. I stopped playing with them on Wednesday and again today as it appears apparent that the idle jets are too small (50) and of course nobody in Darwin can help me. Rather than buying ****loads of jets i've purchased a set of jet drills to sort the problem out. No matter what mixture is set (even the best idle) the car pops and surges around 1500-2500 then the car takes off revving easily to 4000rpm and wanting to go further (noting i'm running the engine in and don't want to over rev it just yet). I note that when I pull up the car almost stalls, which to me suggests the car may be running to rich up high possibly? My plan is to up the idle jets to 55 and give it a go. Should this fail I'll try 60 as a last resort (there is no 57 in the drill set I've ordered). For your info the carbs currently have in them; choke: 36 aux venturi: 4.5 main jet: 155 emulsion tube: F11 air corrector jet: 175 idle jet: 0.50 accellerator pump jet with exhaust orifice: 55 needle valve: 1.75 And for those wanting to know engine specs; Fully flowed and clearanced RIMCO case CB performance MAXI 3 full flow pump - blueprinted CB performance lightweight lifters Scat 1.25:1 4340 pro comp ratio rockers CB performance 2242 camshaft (294 intake duration) CB performance Magnum 8640 chromoly straight cut gear set New Steve Timms ported and cc'd 043 heads, 40x35 valves, ported, chromoly retainers, stainless valves, dual springs (to run 8:1 static compression) - Refer Heads Match ported intake manifolds CB 69mm welded crankshaft with 8 dowels, balanced Scat 4340 chromoly I beam rods with ARP bolts 12lb german forged flywheel, 8 dowelled. Gene berg deep sump extension (1.5 lt extra oil approx) Aircooled net 6160 alloy pushrods New Mahle A's P&B that have been balanced Webber 5lb electric fuel pump All new engine tin 1 5/8 hpc coated merged slip fit header Black fatboy (for initial use - custom one to be fabricated) Kennedy 1700lb pressure plate Bosch 009 with compufire module MSD 6AL ignition and MSD blaster 2 coil Scat billet serpantine pulley kit Any advise appreciated. |

If you tried everything with the carbs that you are happy with, try checking the ignition. Good chance its not advancing properly. Also look for vac leaks. Is there a difference betw driving slowly thru the problematic rev range (say 20% throttle), then increasing the power to get thru that range (40, 60 80 and 100%)... if its always in that rev range, with the carbs delivering different amounts of air and fuel, then I would def look at ignition.
